You Owned one of those?! I used to dream about that bike before I had my licence.

 

I had one too! My first as well.

 

well, a die-cast model on a stand.

nice Costco!

 

You guys are LUCKY. This was my first bike.

 

Here's what I have now. This ones not mine, but same colors. She's old but I still have a blast on it!

 

I would never own a Harley but if I ever did by any stretch of the imagination this would have to be the one.

 

^^ nice. i like that and also the V-rod:

 

They're actually the same bike. The "Night Rod is just a special edition V. Yeah, I'd take it in silver too.

 

nice i was wondering about that.. so the one you posted is just a 2007 model eh

 

Yeah, but I think it looks identical for the current year as well. Let me check....

... yeah looks identical for 2012.

ok. nice.

 

I used to have an NR model as well. I absolutely love that bike.

 

Yum, loving this thread!

 

anyone know the actual name of the orange color used in the Honda Repsol paint scheme?

That V Rod motor was designed by Porche.

 

Oh yea...Victory > HD

 

 

Un rideable junk. ^

 

wow. i had no idea! that is good to know and gives me even more appreciation for it.

 

Alright so I had to read more on it, and found that saying they designed the motor is a stretch. They namely helped design and develop the liquid cooling aspect of it. The bulk of the motor is designed and built by Harley-Davidson. Harley played up the affiliation as a marketing strategy. BUT that doesn't change the fact that I am more impressed by it now than I was before.

 

Pretty sweet thread... but I need everyone to do me a favor and keep the chat to a minimum. We already have a Motorcycle chat topic with over 1100 replies and I'd really like to keep this topic separate, but we need to keep it photos...

Thanks

 

Agreed 100% ...but so ridiculous I had to post it

 

I was flipping through the channels the other day and I stumbled upon that American Chopper show...they were building this Gears of War 3 trike, and I was mesmerized...this thing was just insane, complete with gatling gun forward facing exhausts ...not the most practical, but damn does it look badass

 

 

sorry abo....

 

Nice pic.

Obviously comments about the photos are fine, but we already have a 28+ page thread about motorcycles. I like the idea of a photo thread, but if they start to blend they'll likely be merged since it doesn't make sense to have multiple topics about the same thing...

 

this bike is just interesing all the way around

 

I have a friend who I ride with who owns the Nightrod Version (All Black). Sweet and quick but it does not do well in the twisties at all. It is a tad faster than my Victory...but I smoke him in the curves. We both have been riding since we were kids. I have had two harleys and numerous Japanese bikes and I must say...after buying this victory i think the only other bike I would put in my garage is a Ducati. Keep the Victory for cruising...and the Ducati for kickin' ass.

 

Nicest 250 I've ever seen.




What the heck is this?

 

^^ damn those are some sick rides

 

That's Vyrus's new Moto2 racebike for next season.

 

More Triumph!!









Triumph, OK!



All are 2047x1370

 

subscribed. love the MV Agusta quad exhaust...

 

 

The 998 will forever be one of my dream bikes. Even though it isn't fast by todays standards nor is it anywhere near reliable. I loved the design and always will.

 

Gulf Livery 1098R
